More Ick!
It's raining (something), ohh, oh, it's raining (something)...
I never filed an entry about our latest "neighborly" escapades. (Judy reminded me that I should enter this story-- it takes the cake!)
The duplex next door, with it's precarious second-floor deck perched right above our bedroom windows, has always been a bit of a problem. The house tends to be owned by more-or-less absentee landlords who rent it out to a boatload of students. So, as you can guess, we have the common loud drunken party, with people jammed onto the deck, (in 35 degree weather!) to contend with. A few years back, we actually had to deal with someone jumping off that deck onto the roof of our house. When that happened in the middle of the night I literally thought a bomb had gone off it was so loud. That's about the worst that has happened. But it wasn't the grossest.
A couple of weeks ago I was lying in bed, watching TV (probably Iron Chef, ha), with a party picking up next door (we can hear the voices from the deck). It wasn't even midnight yet, but suddenly I hear something hitting our bedroom window.... it sounded like liquid.... yes, I know that sound..... EWWWW!! Some dude had pissed off the deck onto our bedroom window! Ewwwww!!!! So I called Kyle over (he was in the other room) and we decided he would go over there with Windex and paper towels and have the guy clean it up. Luckily, when he went over there, some guy came over and did clean it up (insisting all along that he wasn't the one who did it, it was his friend, WHATEVER) so we didn't have to deal with it ourselves.
What is with this? Are these people animals? Why is that fun? What's funny is my sister has also had to deal with bad student neighbors who live upstairs from her. A few months ago someone leaned over their balcony and puked onto her porch. (The balcony is right smack above her porch). Ick ick ick!! What is with bodily fluids raining down during student parties?! I'm old and crabby and I can't take it anymore. I'm not Jennifer "Crazy 8" Lee!
